The 2013 NFL draft is almost upon us -- have you been studying up? If not, it may be too late for you to put together scouting reports on this year's prospects (don't worry, we've got your back), but you can still sound like an expect when everyone gathers around the water cooler the Monday after the draft. Below are 50 facts about this draft -- some good, some bad, some weird.

30. Georgia DE/OLB Jarvis Jones led the FBS in tackles for loss (24) and sacks (14.0) last season.

31. WR Da'Rick Rogers caught 158 passes in his collegiate career -- 97 for Tennessee between 2010-11 and 61 last year for Tennessee Tech.

32. Duke has not had a player drafted since Drew Strojny in 2004 (St. Louis). Either QB Sean Renfree or WR Conner Vernon could break that drought this year.

33. DE/OLB Ziggy Ansah twice tried out for BYU's basketball team before earning a spot on the Cougars' football roster for the 2010 season.

34. Oklahoma State's Quinn Sharp, who also handled punts for the Cowboys, led the FBS with 28 field-goal makes and 34 attempts.

35. A total of 32 compensatory picks were handed out for this draft, to 16 different teams. The highest selection: Houston at No. 95 overall, in Round 3.

36. Utah State RB Kerwynn Williams totaled 2,209 yards from scrimmage last season, most of any FBS player in this draft. He finished just 23 yards behind Arizona running back Ka'Deem Carey for the top mark in the country.

37. 1996 marked the last year that no quarterback was taken in Round 1 of the draft. Michigan State's Tony Banks was the first QB picked that year, at No. 42 overall by St. Louis.

38. 1963 was the last draft that saw no running backs picked in Round 1 -- a streak that could end next week. The first RB off the board in '63 was Don Lisbon, in Round 3.

39. Oregon OT Kyle Long is the son of NFL Hall of Famer Howie Long and the brother of current St. Louis Rams defensive lineman Chris Long.

40. UCLA RB Johnathan Franklin was a season 2 cast member on the BET reality show "Baldwin Hills," which aired from 2007-09.

41. The Kansas City Chiefs have never made the No. 1 overall selection as a member of the NFL; their lone No. 1 pick (Grambling DT Buck Buchanan) came in 1963, when the Chiefs played in the AFL.

42. QB Landry Jones was the second-most prolific passer in the FBS last season, throwing for 4,267 yards. No. 1 was Baylor's Nick Florence, who opted to quit football rather than enter this year's draft.

44. TE Travis Kelce was Cincinnati's wildcat quarterback during his freshman season. He ran eight times for 47 yards and two touchdowns.

45. DE/OLB Dion Jordan suffered second- and third-degree burns on over 40 percent of his body in 2007, due to an accident that occurred as Jordan and some friends were attempting to siphon gasoline out of a car with a vacuum.

46. Hawai'i CB Mike Edwards finished last season as the FBS leader in kickoff return yards with 1,215. He was one of just four players to reach the 1,000-yard plateau on the year.

47. Of the 15 fastest defensive players in the 40-yard dash at the NFL combine, 13 were cornerbacks and two were safeties. The fastest defensive player outside the secondary was Missouri LB Zaviar Gooden at 4.47 seconds.

48. Houston CB D.J. Hayden nearly died during a November practice, when a collision tore his inferior vena cava -- the vein that carries blood from the lower half of one's body to the heart.

49. RB Zach Line finished his SMU career with 4,784 total yards, breaking Eric Dickerson's previous mark of 4,640.

50. Lawrence Okoye is attempting to make the NFL jump despite having never played a down of football. The 6-foot-6, 308-pound Okoye finished 12th in the discus at last summer's Olympics.
